Paul Philip “Phil” Kaster, 86, of Shelbyville, passed away Tuesday, March 4, 2025, in Shelbyville, Ind.
Phil served as President of Kasco, a company he and his father, founded and co-owned since July of 1965. He was a member and past president of Farm Equipment Manufacturers Assn. He enjoyed going to Ferguson Tractor shows.
One of Phil’s greatest joys was engaging in conversations with others, whether at a farm equipment trade show, or in everyday life. He always said, “Everyone has a story.” And he wanted to hear it.
In sharing the news, the Equipment Marketing & Distribution Assn. wrote, "Phil was a dedicated leader in the agricultural equipment industry, known for his commitment to quality and innovation. Under his leadership, Kasco Manufacturing became a trusted name, building strong relationships with distributors and representatives across the industry."
